I really dig this abstract artist named Trudy Benson. Her work stands out from the myriad of abstract redundancy that pervades painting these days. Although I am not entirely sure of her technique, it seems like she uses computer based imagery as her starting point. They look like simple doodles in Microsoft Paint, then transposed onto canvas. What I love is the seamless relationship between the two realms, creating a dialogue between both analog and digital world views. Also, the colors, lines and formations she comes up with so whimsically are fresh and fun to look at. I see a pedigree of Jonathan Lasker in this work, whose work I also like to look at. I would call this kind of art "Abstract Intentionism". They are the type of abstractionists who are deliberate in their conceptualizations almost down to the most minute detail, which perhaps represents some kind of conceptual inversion.
I am not sure of the title of this piece, but I really love it. Anyway, I had to put her up here in the ole bloggy.
